30 Days of Night: Dark Days, Kiele Sanchez
Synopsis: It’s been a year since the Alaskan town of Barrow’s population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella (Kiele Sanchez) has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, Stella is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls (Coiro, Baird and Perrineau) offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith (Kirshner), the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop evil from striking again… (more…)
Interviews with Kiele Sanchez, Diora Baird, Rhys Coiro, Steve Niles, Ben Ketai and J.R. Young at Comic-Con
Kiele Sanchez, Diora Baird, and Rhys Coiro Interviewed,
by Bill Graham
Question: The vampire genre in general has really exploded. True Blood, Twilight, and of course Blade kind of kicked off the comic book vampire film. What attracted you to this property?
Kiele Sanchez: What attracted me to it was the graphic novel; they were great. I got hip to them a little bit before the first movie came out. So, when this came around I was really excited to be a part of it.
Did everyone read the comic before hand? Was it reading material or just the script?
Diora Baird and Rhys Coiro: Both.
Baird: I mean, everyone had the comic on set.
Coiro: If given the choice between pictures and no pictures, I always opt for pictures. (Everyone laughs)
What did you think about the first film?
Sanchez: I loved the first film.
Baird: Yea, big fan.
Sanchez: I think it’s amazing.
The entire cast comes from a wide range of experiences; some from comedy, some from dramatic, and some from TV. How does that benefit you on set?
Baird: Hopefully it just means that we each have our fan base, so more people watch the movie.
Sanchez: For me it was a stretch, it was something that I haven’t done before. I haven’t played a character like Stella, on screen at least. That’s as far as I can speak for the casting experience. I have no idea what was going on in their minds when they decided to cast me. (Laughs)
What do you think of the Comic-Con experience so far?
Baird: Well (Kiele’s) getting her cherry popped right now.
First time?
Baird and Sanchez: Comic-Con style. (more…)
30 Days, Dark Days has a Menacing Overtone
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
30 Days of Night was a smash hit when it was released in theatres in 2007. This fall, the comic-based franchise looks to carry on with the direct-to-DVD film 30 Days of Night: Dark Days. In preparation for the movie’s release, the creators and cast open up for a look inside what it’s like to make this film.
30 Days of Night is based on the comic book of the same name by creator and D.C. native (his credentials check out) Steve Niles. Most fans of the original movie have no clue that the film was derived from a comic book. This fact is quite pleasing to Niles who says of the comic to film transition: “those [films] are the ones that work the best. Everyone knows Iron Man was a comic book.” The success of 30 Days is that it can stand on its own, separate from the source material. (more…)
